ticipated in a program in
Israel are more interested in
making aliyah and more ac-
tive in promoting Israeli
issues in the United States,
he said. Chesler hopes to
bring them back to Israel for
Kesher '89, a project of the
World Zionist Organization.
Kesher '89 includes a varie-
ty of options for those wishing
to return to Israel. Among
these are nine weeks of
Hebrew study on a kibbutz;
Project Discovery, which in-
cludes one week each of an ar-
cheological dig and touring,
and three weeks on a kibbutz;
a leadership training
seminar, a two-week program
for individuals interested in
on-campus Israel activities;
and Na'am internship, which
offers two months of profes-
sional experience in the par-
ticipant's field.
According to Detroit's com-
munity shaliach, Yefet Ozery,
some 600 Michigan residents
recently spent time on pro-
grams in Israel. He hopes to
send one of the largest con-
tingents to Israel on Kesher
'89.
Chesler also wants to single
out for praise American olim.
"Every Jew who wanted to
leave the Soviet Union was
named a refusenik," he said.
"But we don't really respect
and honor the Americans
who make aliyah. They
should receive special
recognition."
One issue makes Chesler
especially optimistic about
American Jews' feelings
toward Israel: Who Is a Jew.
The debate surrounding the
question of whether those
who undergo non-halachic
conversions should be admit-
ted as citizens under the Law
of Return reflects the fact that
"American Jews feel very
much connected to Israel," he
said.
"I mean who does Who Is a
Jew really affect? Ten people
a year. But Reform and Con-
servative are concerned
because they might one day
want to come to Israel, and
they don't want anybody to be
able to stop them. Every Jew
looks at Israel as his potential
homeland."
Chesler has advice for U.S.
Jews disturbed by the Who Is
a Jew issue.
"You want to change Israel?
Come and do it. If the Reform
and Conservative start mak-
ing aliyah, that (Who Is a
Jew) won't be an issue."
Chesler said some 1,850
American Jews make aliyah
each year. It is a figure he
watches closely.
"If there will be no aliyah
from America, there will be
no Jews coming to Israel from
anywhere," he said. "Jews all

over the world look to see
what American Jews will do."
Chesler said it will be dif-
ficult to increase the number
of American olim, yet he will
never surrender his vision of
bringing more Jewish im-
migrants to Israel.
"It is a struggle," he admit-
ted. "But Israel should never
give up demanding American
Jews for aliyah. We are not
dreamers, but we do have a
dream:'

viously favorably disposed, as
a group to enhancing the 10
Mile campus in many direc-
tions," Dr. Giles said.
But, he added, that does not
mean that the entire JCC
package — including the JPM
pool — will be approved.
The operating costs of an
enhanced 10 Mile Center, and
the increase in the JCC's
budget deficit, are other
issues affecting the proposal.

The proposal is 'a
lot like mother and
apple pie.

The increase in the annual
operating budget of an
enhanced 10 Mile Center has
been estimated at between
$100,000-$250,000.
Madden estimated the
package would cost closer to
$250,000.
Dr. Giles terms the proposal
"a lot like mother and apple
pie. The project as it's listed
there, if it were taken in an
isolated fashion, is a fine pro-
ject. Nobody can quarrel with
any aspect of it. It only
becomes troublesome when
one has to consider all the
rest of the hundreds • of com-
munity projects that come
before Federation for funding
as well."
